Imo,if this baby can be used as dual-wield DK tank for his main-hand weapon?the low speed,the hit,so sweet!

Comment by Doogal

Hardly a tanking weapon though really.

Comment by fatdog

sounds like a challenge

Comment by uluvit

Comment by Damhooligan

This thing is wicked cool for us Frost DW DK's! I currently use the Frost Giant's Cleaver in both MH and OH and am looking forward to rolling with these X2, WOOT! We use a slow/slow combo currently so I cannot imagine there being a better item out there for us.

It just looks nasty too :)

Comment by Dralnor

I have to agree, the +agi makes it a rogue weapon first for our raids, and a DK weapon or Hunter stat-stick 2nd.

Comment by Priderage

Ironically, this sword fits perfectly with the Warrior Tier 10 10H/25 player set, right down to the matching colour scheme, but will never actually use as it's a one-handed non-tanking sword. Vain Warriors lament.

Comment by Ultismash

Can anyone confirm if this weapon sheaths on your back when "put away" or if it rests at your side? Appreciated!

Comment by Lacastay

As said this should be awarded to Frost DKs and Rogues equally. You cannot say "has agi so rogue wep" because there are no weapons itemised for Dual Wield DKs. It is unfortunate but it is true.

EDIT; Should be a reply to Mooninites7 but is done the bottom here for some reason :(

Same discussion as always on every new item.

This is a melee weapon, it is more useful to melee classes than hunters, because this only provides stats for hunters, whereas this provides stats and melee damage for melees.

Comment by Tralfamadore

A very high TPS weapon for paladin tanks with nice stats sans the armor penetration--though I doubt any pally seeing this drop is having threat issues :P I believe it's the best we can do for pure threat before Troggbane becomes available.

I would not deprive a DPS of this main spec--however, I will be ninja-ing heroic Gutbuster for tanking if it drops in 10-man heroic and feel absolutely no remorse :P

Only thing that would make this piece of awesomeness even better, would be if they swapped the improved hit for critical strike rating.

Edit:I have uploaded pictures of it together with Scourgeborne Waraxe.

BiS for the PvP Prot Warrior with the Devastate changes. Unless you can buy Arena weapons, of course.

More hate, please!

Back to thottbot, please!

Comment by cooespooh

It would be exceptionally ironic, most definitely.

Comment by hoffmn57

Personally as a hunter this weapon is pretty badass because it's one of the few pieces with both hit AND some yummy arp. For arp stackers this is pretty nice, though i agree a melee class should get it first.

Comment by Dark111

I have never posted in any kind of such foren and I don't want to flame anyone, and first of all I would like to specify that I belong to a very nice guild, but as a combat rogue I lost this sword to a hunter...

Comment by snrfrito

Besides being the best looking sword in the game (in my opinion), this sword is actually excellent for threat gen as a tank: Maintankadin Source

Not to mention that the vast amounts of hit rating will allow a tank to drop any threat gen stats (hit, exp, armsman on gloves) in favor of pure Effective Health (EH), and the agility will add dodge and armor.

Of course, and I have to say this for fear of being down-rated, if you're a tank desiring to roll on this beauty, be sure to pass it up to a melee DPS (or, God forbid, a Hunter) unless you're in sore need of extra threat generation. And, quite frankly, if you're that desperate for threat, you're probably doin' it wrong.

Don't let this item go to shard if you're a Warrior, DW DK (yes, it is viable), or Paladin with a 251 tanking weapon and are not hit capped without gemming or enchanting.

Just killed Saurfang on my rogue...See this thing drop...Roll 86, beating the 2 other rogues..Dancing with joy, and then along comes the huntard..HURR DURR DERPA DERP 92Just guess in whose bags this thing ended up in?Please you animal loving peashooters, don't be such huge dois.

Comment by Sayvian

As this sword sheaths on your belt and not back I am a little disappointed. I currently wield the Frost Giant's Cleaver MH and the Scourgeborn Waraxe OH and they both sheath on my Rogues back for a nice "Titan's Grip" look. But as the the bloodvenom blade is BIS for Combat Rogues I will have to let my cool look go. :o(

Comment by LexBlue

So... I'm a marksman hunter with two of these. (Don't look at me like that - no one else wanted them!)

Would it be worth my time to try for Distant Land instead? It'd suck to lose that armor pen, but the staff's got gem slots and I'm way over hit cap anyway.

Comment by Marsailema

dropped for me (frost dk) in 25 (d'oh), were 3 hunters, but they couldnt roll cause the loot rules are well understood on my realm, so I was the only person who could roll ( I rolled 3 btw):) DWing it with Gutbuster in OH.

Edit: Snivelton you look Dangerous on that pic:O

Comment by euman

actually im gonna get those 2 fur my rouge there ideal too u know they look cool as well XD

Comment by cavemanrunneth

That really means nothing when you don't specify your own class...

DK's warriors and pallies have no need to roll on this because it is very poorly itemized for tanking and if they are dps (except possibly a dk) they are going to be using two-hander.

The only way a tank should roll of that is if it were a pretty big upgrade, in which case they probably aren't tanking ICC 25..

It IS however perfectly itemized for a hunter and like it or not, a hunter has every bit a much right to roll on this as a rogue does (and I am a human rogue).

Comment by themadrussian122

I've run ICC every single week on 25N for this sword for the past 15 weeks and have never seen it drop. I'm beginning to believe it no longer exists.
